Minnesota will hand the ball to David Festa. The Twins are 4-4 in his previous outings, but Festa has recorded just one quality start so far this year. Meanwhile, the Marlins counter with Eury Pérez, aiming to get the series win and keep Miami’s hot streak going. There’s encouraging news for the Twins: Royce Lewis reports he is feeling good.

Brooks Lee and Carlos Correa drove in runs to back a strong start by Simeon Woods Richardson, and the Minnesota Twins beat Miami 2-1 on Wednesday night to end the Marlins’ eight-game win streak.

Eury Perez pitched six scoreless innings -- allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out seven -- as the host Miami Marlins remained hot, defeating the Minnesota Twins 4-1 on Thursday afternoon.
